Pretend Love [Entertainment Industry]

An instinctive, gifted actress × an attentive, guiding top-tier star and heir

After filming so many heartbreaking romances, Xu Wanxing finally gets to star in a sweet modern romance, opposite the newly popular top-tier star Zhong Wangjiang. As soon as filming starts, their first scene is a kiss.

She has kissed co-stars on camera before, but for some reason, despite it being only a light kiss with cameras all around them, she is briefly dazed. One thought fills her mind: mint-flavored.

When the director calls cut, Zhong Wangjiang seems not to notice her flushed embarrassment. His eyes remain fixed on her lips. "Your first time filming a kissing scene, Miss Xu. Did it meet your expectations?"

She is taken aback. With his stunning looks, acting talent, and incredible connections, Zhong Wangjiang went from complete obscurity to household name in just over a year. Could this really be his first kissing scene? Yet his kiss had not felt inexperienced at all, as though he had rehearsed it countless times.

After filming wraps, the male lead from her previous drama comes to visit. When they are alone, he confesses his feelings to her again. He knows she has trouble distinguishing acting from real life, and he is confident she likes him. Xu Wanxing politely turns him down, but he refuses to accept it.

As they struggle, Zhong Wangjiang suddenly appears and stands in front of her, his expression cold and his presence sharp. "Can't you understand what 'no' means?"

At the wrap party, they film promotional footage. Zhong Wangjiang's passionate gaze is almost enough to drown someone. He calls her by her real name, not her character's: "Wanxing, I like you."

The studio instantly becomes a carefully arranged confession scene.

Her tone is rational, but she can't bring herself to meet his eyes as she rejects him. "It's only a temporary infatuation. You'll get over it once you leave the role behind."

She thinks that this unprecedented filming experience is over, but then they end up recording a variety show together and even starring opposite each other in another drama.

Away from the cameras, their breath mingles. Xu Wanxing bites him lightly to stop him from taking things too far.

She doesn't know whether she has moved on from the role, only that her heart seems to beat differently whenever she faces Zhong Wangjiang.

"When you've moved on, remember to tell me. Then we can part on good terms." In the end, she is willing to do this. Even pretending to sleep, she doesn't want to be the first to wake up.

"My beloved leading lady, our story will never end."

Falling in love through acting was the plan. You are my destination.
